There isn't much one could do to make it anymore perfect than it is. It's your ability to "see" not only the subject, but the light while blending both so wonderfully in creating heart warming photographs. Some seeing aspects can be learned by anyone, as in paint by numbers. But the photography we enjoy of yours comes from within, the heart, the soul, gut, whatever it's called. But it's a gift given to some folks, but not all. The cut of life so to speak. There isn't any question you have the gift. Similarly, your seeing & understanding how to use available light is truly amazing time after time in so many situations. It's your ability in combining both, light & subject, in such away you create beautiful photographs, a gift for everyone to enjoy time after time. Good on you girl. Thank you. ted
